City seeks input on truck parking area

With Sidney’s carrier vehicle ordinance being enforced starting July 1, the City of Sidney is trying to gauge interest from truck drivers for a special parking lot.

“We’re trying to figure out what the interest of a city-owned truck parking lot would be,” Melissa Norgard, Sidney economic development director, said, “and how much people would be willing to pay for a spot in the parking lot, and the minimum amenities the parking lot would need.”

The fine is $20 for each day of not being in compliance.

“We want to remind all of the citizens who will be affected by the enforcement of the ordinance that starting July 1st, you will be eligible to get a ticket if you’re still parking your truck in a residential area,” Norgard said.

Carrier vehicles are no longer allowed to park in residential areas in order to better maintain the quality of Sidney’s streets.
